Nottingham Forest target Barrie McKay has reportedly not travelled with Rangers to Luxembourg for tonight's Europa League tie, with the Reds said to be closing in on his signature.

Cardiff City have also been linked with the winger, but the Scottish Sun claim McKay is understood to prefer a switch to the City Ground.

Forest are currently in America for a pre-season training camp until July 14, but it is reported the 22-year-old could even join up with the squad in Florida, if the finer details of a deal are thrashed out in time.

Should he make the move, McKay would link up again with Reds boss Mark Warburton, after the pair worked together at Ibrox.

The Scot has found himself frozen out at Rangers, with manager Pedro Caixinha telling him to train with the club's under-20s.

And he is said to have stayed behind as Gers make the trip to face Progres Niederkorn in the second leg of their Europa League qualifier this evening holding a 1-0 lead.

In his pre-match press conference, Caixinha had nothing to add to McKay's situation. But with Joe Garner and Andy Halliday having already gone, he said: "We want to take the team to a new level."

McKay's team-mate James Tavernier has also been linked with Forest, but is focused on tonight's clash as Rangers look to make the next round of the competition.

"We want to come over here and win comfortably. We want that early goal and then possibly more - we have looked at it and the early goal means they need three to get past us," said Tavernier.

"We are looking to keep a clean sheet at the back and the forward men are looking to score as many goals as they can."
